Insurance Valuations

Insurance Valuations

While many people understand the value of insurance, not many understand the significance of insurance valuation. Too often, businesses will find that the sum insured is inadequate, leaving them to fund the rest of the replacement costs from their own pockets.

Although it is common to assume that insurance coverage should be adjusted based on increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), there are actually a number of factors that influence these numbers. LMW is dedicated to providing a tailored insurance valuation that considers all of these elements, to ensure that each client is fully aware of the appropriate insurance coverage.

WHEN DO YOU NEED US?

Unless a business has recently had an insurance based valuation, the sums insured are often inadequate and potentially represent only 50-75 per cent of the ‘true’ replacement amount. There are of course exceptions, and we do find cases of more accurate or sometimes over stated replacement values.
